Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

QHow does Positive Pay work?

Essentially, the Positive Pay System verifies the checks that are presented and paid with the checks that have been issued.

QHow does the Bank identify issued checks?

Whenever checks are issued, Positive Pay customers will need to provide the Bank with a file of issued checks, either on disk or through secure mail. The file format must be in a flat file format or a QIF format most common to most readily available money management software.

QWhat type of accounts are eligible for Positive Pay?

Any checking account can be set up to use the Positive Pay service. Accounts that consistently have larger balances and a high volume of transaction activity will probably benefit the most from this service.
